"Good Family"

We got to take they boys' fall pictures. They turned out precious. I can't believe how big both of them are getting. Will is doing something new everyday. He is rolling like crazy and is holding himself up on his hands and knees really well. He is starting to lunge like he wants to crawl but can't quite get it. He also just started saying "Dada". It was the funniest thing at dinner last night I was trying to get him to say "mama" and he kept saying "dada" instead, just like big brother. Finally the last time I tried he paused a second and I just knew he was about to say it, then he grunted and pooted so loud. Zach about died laughing and told him "that's my boy." I don't care if they both say dada first, as long as they say mama the most! :)

Last night JT said, "Mommy I think God made you and Daddy meet just so you could have me and Will because we are a good family!" Is that not the sweetest thing ever!? :) I am so proud of JT, I can't say that enough. He is such a good kid and so sweet to us. We are hard on him a lot, but it is only because we expect so much out of him. I hope it pays off when he gets older. 

You can argue all you want, but I have to say I have the best mom ever. :) She has been such a big help with the boys during this internship. I don't know what we would do without her. She is just absolutely amazing! Thanks for everything mom! 

My sweet boys

Zach has officially decided to go back to school and get a bachelor's degree in Information Technology. I am so excited for him. He will hopefully start in January if we can get all of the paperwork together. If not, it will be next summer or fall.

It's Been A While...

I have gone so long without posting and I feel guilty because I do want the boys to read this when they get older. I think they will be more proud of the fact that I completed 2 degrees and got a good job where I can spend more time with them though, so it's ok. ;) 

The boys got their Batman and Robin Halloween Costumes!

My perfect Dynamic Duo!

JT and his cousin Madison, they had fun together.

So we have been pretty busy the past few weeks. My big boy (JT) is thriving at school. He has become a little ladies man! Apparently all of the little girls are going home talking about him to their parents. They all just love him, which makes me feel good as a mom. I want my boys to ALWAYS respect and be nice to girls. I think he is a lot like Zach. Zach and I met in the 6th grade and just about all of my friends were crazy about him. Not only was he the "new" kid, but he was also very laid back and didn't give us the attention we got from the other boys, so we all wanted him to like us. It's fun to talk about now that we are older and married. JT has also started reading pretty well. He is asking how everything is spelled. We used to be able to hide things from him by spelling it out to each other, not anymore. He can sound words out! We will have to figure out a new technique!

Will has been doing great also. For a while he was not sleeping at all at night. Come to find out he was just not eating at school and was starving all night long. So this momma was exhausted getting 3 hours of sleep and working all day without help from Zach. I really wish he could get a day job! 

Will and cousin Issac... They are going to be buddies growing up. :)

Now that we have figured out what was wrong with Will he is waking up only 1-2 times at night to eat. My poor baby just thinks wearing 18 month clothes at 4 months old is not good enough. He wants to get bigger! His teacher told me she used to go to the gym, until she started working there and now he works her out enough she doesn't have to! HAHA... He is also very lazy at school, to hear his teachers tell it. He won't roll over for them, but he will wait on other babies to crawl past him and grab their toes to chew on. Yes, I have yet another strange child. I think it is just because he is too fat to grab his own toes. 

Tomorrow we are going to Springdale to watch "Papa's" football team and spend the night with them. I am also going to try to take some pictures of the boys, I will be sure to post them.
